Dealing with a Picky Dog: Solutions for Days of No Eati

19. December 2024
Dear pet owners, have you ever found yourselves at a loss when your picky dogs refuse to eat at home

Dear pet owners, have you ever found yourselves at a loss when your picky dogs refuse to eat at home? Watching them stubbornly starve themselves, doesn't it break your heart? Do you think allowing your dogs to eat whatever they want is showing them love? You know the nutrients in commercial dog food are more comprehensive, yet you give in to their pickiness. Is this really the best for your furry friends?

This kind of behavior can be summed up in one word: overindulgence!

Dogs that have become picky eaters due to their owners' overindulgence tend to be weaker in health, far less robust than those who eat dog food. So, how can you correct your dog's habit of ignoring dog food, and how can you make your dog, who has been resisting dog food at home, start to eat it? Here's a clear path for you: hunger!

Don't dismiss this idea as nonsense or disdain this method. This is the only effective way to correct a dog's picky eating habit, although it's often difficult for us, including ourselves, to implement. Just like children, once dogs are away from their parents and no one is there to care for them, they will become incredibly wellbehaved.

Let's use a metaphor: when a dog falls ill and is admitted to a pet hospital, no matter how picky it is at home, it will eat dog food there, regardless of the brand. After all, it can't be allowed to starve. So, most of the reason for a dog's pickiness lies in the owner's overindulgence. You, dear pet owner, have a soft heart that your dog has taken advantage of!

When dealing with a picky eater, the owner must have strong willpower and must not give in to the dog's days of not eating and only drinking water. Rest assured, our dogs are intelligent children; they wouldn't starve themselves!

So, during the process of correcting your dog's picky eating, be sure to pay attention. Only provide dog food at mealtime, and leave it there for half an hour. If the dog doesn't eat, take it away and don't give it to them at the next meal. If it still doesn't eat, take it away again. During this time, don't give in to the dog's whining and pleading. Make it clear to the dog that bad habits are absolutely not tolerated! If you don't eat, there's no food!
